ValvTechnologies products

The delayed Coker process is a batch process, one of the most hostile environments in the refinery – due to the abrasive and erosive fouling properties of the coke by-product.The valves also experience extreme thermal cycling. Valves are cycled frequently and failure can lead to a complete shutdown of a unit, resulting in large process and financial costs.

ValvTechnologies’ four way switch valve design focuses on operational reliability, extended mean time before major repair and low cost of total ownership. The delayed coker process is a batch process, one of the most hostile environments in the refinery – due to the abrasive / erosive, properties of the coke by-product and high temperature reactions. Valves are cycled frequently and failure can lead to a complete shutdown of a unit, resulting in large process and financial costs. Optimizing valve life-cycle is critical to operational efficiency.
